Japan's Princess Kako meets elderly residents of Japanese descent in Brazil
Japan's Princess Kako, who is on an official visit to Brazil, has met elderly people of Japanese ancestry near the country's largest city of Sao Paulo. The South American nation is home to the world's largest community of Japanese descendants. The second daughter of Crown Prince and Princess Akishino visited an elderly care facility for the Japanese community on Saturday. Established in 1958, the facility currently houses about 60 people, including some aged 100 or older. The princess was welcomed with a bouquet of flowers presented by Yuasa Tisue, a 92-year-old second-generation Japanese-Brazilian from the southern state of Parana. Princess Kako shook hands with the residents one by one. She said she was very happy to meet them and wished them good health. Kumada Koki, a first-generation Japanese-Brazilian, said he was very honored to meet the princess, who came from far away. The 93-year-old, who used to work at a coffee farm in the state of Sao Paulo, also said he was moved by the once-in-a-lifetime encounter. The princess will travel to Maringa in the state of Parana on Sunday. Many Japanese descendants also live in the city.

Mum, 24, dies in hot tub accident with entire body SCALDED when she passed out in water before waking up screaming
A MUM has tragically died after falling unconscious in a hot tub at a motel room. Gabriele Cristine Barreto de Freitas, 24, was left with horrific burns all over her body when she woke up screaming. 4 4 The mum-of-one had been at the motel in Curitiba, in the Brazilian state of Parana, with a man she had met at a party. She died with agonising third-degree burns after she was rushed to the hospital. The pair decided to take a hot bath together for a relaxing dip. However, things took a tragic turn when Gabriele decided to stay after her partner got out of the tub to go to bed. She passed out inside the hot tub after apparently hitting her head. The mum then woke up screaming as she saw bits of her skin hanging from her body after suffering severe burns. Shocking images from an intensive care unit show her entire body wrapped up in bandages. One image showed a large strip of skin hanging from her face. Gabriele reportedly died from a massive cardiac arrest - just six days after her family said she was recovering. Jenifer Vaniele Barreto, her sister, said: "We don't understand how Gabriele's death happened. "No one gave us any answers, they just said she had a cardiac arrest and died, that's all. The police at the Curitiba Homicide Division have now opened an investigation into the shocking death. The man she went with to the motel has not yet been interviewed by the police, according to local media reports. But the family's lawyer, Valter Ribeiro Junior, says they are demanding tests on the hot tub's thermostat to see if it was faulty. He said: "It is unacceptable that someone goes to a motel for leisure and leaves burnt to the point of dying days later. "If it happened to her, it's probably going to happen to other people. "It is possible that the equipment is not up to date and may have caused these burns." Gabriele leaves behind a five-year-old son, now being cared for by her mother. Hot tub safety tips Temperature Check: Keep the water temperature at or below 40°C (104°F) to avoid overheating. Soaking for extended periods in hotter water can lead to drowsiness, which could be dangerous. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after using the hot tub. This helps prevent dehydration and overheating. Avoid Alcohol & Drugs: Don't use alcohol or drugs before or while using a hot tub. They can impair your judgment and increase the risk of accidents or health problems. Supervise Children: Never leave children unattended in or near a hot tub. Ensure they understand the rules and potential dangers, and that the water isn't too deep for them.

Nirjala Ekadashi 2025: Vrat katha, date, timings, significance—all you need to know
Nirjala Ekadashi 2025: Ekadashi is one of the most significant days in Hinduism. On this day, devotees worship and observe a fast for Lord Vishnu to receive his blessings. Nirjala Ekadashi is considered the most important Ekadashi among all the 24 Ekadashis in the year. Nirjala Vrat translates into fasting without water, and this Nirjala Ekadashi fast is observed without food and water and is considered the most difficult of the Ekadashi fasts. For those devotees unable to observe all 24 Ekadashis throughout the year, it is recommended to fast solely on Nirjala Ekadashi, as fasting on this day is believed to confer the benefits of all the other Ekadashis. Nirjala Ekadashi fast falls in the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Jyeshtha, and according to the Gregorian/English calendar, it falls in May or June. It falls on the next day of Ganga Dussehra, and this year, the Nirjala Ekadashi date starts on Friday, June 6, at 2:15 am and ends on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at 4:47 am. Those observing the fast on June 7 can break it (Parana) between 1:44 PM and 4:31 PM, after the end of Hari Vasara, which concludes at 11:25 AM. For Vaishnav Ekadashi, which falls on 8th June 2025, the Parana time is from 5:23 AM to 7:17 AM, with the Dwadashi Tithi ending at 7:17 AM. It is important to wait until Hari Vasara ends before performing Parana, as breaking the fast earlier is not considered auspicious. Devotees should ensure they break their fast within these specified times to observe the rituals correctly and receive the full spiritual benefits. The mythological story associated with Nirjala Ekadashi, also known as Pandava Ekadashi, Bhimaseni Ekadashi, or Bhim Ekadashi, is about Bhimasena, the Pandavas' second brother, who was very fond of eating and drinking and was unable to control his hunger, so he could not observe the Ekadashi fast. Aside from Bhima, the other Pandava brothers and Draupadi devotedly observed all of the Ekadashi fasts throughout the year. Bhimasena was worried by his helplessness and vulnerability. Bhimasena believed that by not observing the Ekadashi fast, he was disrespecting Lord Vishnu. To resolve this dilemma, Bhimasena went to Maharishi Vyas, who recommended him to observe the Nirjala Ekadashi fast once a year, claiming that Nirjala Ekadashi is comparable to twenty-four Ekadashis of the year. Following this legendary narrative, Nirjala Ekadashi became known as Bhimseni Ekadashi and Pandava Ekadashi. To read the full vrat katha of Nirjala Ekadashi fast in Hindi, one can follow the link to Jansatta.
